closer to baltimore, a different story. heavier snow, and some accumulation on the roadways. grassy services, a little trace. that much possible later today. that is about it. still a one out of hand with this storm. look at the flags in the background close to the washington monument. normally this day -- time they would be limp but look how they are moving -- the wind is picking up. that coastal storm which is basically due east of the tidewater area is intensifying and we will continue to see those winds increase through the day. high temperatures in the lower 40's, that is the best we can do today. a little light rain and even some light snow later this evening for the drive home -- drive home. a few slick spot close to
